This patch is wrong. All the documentation I could find tells me that the
multi-byte entries in dhcph are big-endian, thus the new line should read:

u32 cookie = be32_to_cpu(dhcph->cookie);
combined with:

@@ -649,7 +650,7 @@ struct dhcpMessage {
u_int8_t chaddr[16];
u_int8_t sname[64];
u_int8_t file[128];
- u_int32_t cookie;
+ __be32 cookie;
u_int8_t options[308]; /* 312 - cookie */
};

The old code was, in fact, correct, but not in a way that satisfied Sparse.
